Bought obovata cuttings on Ebay but think I've been scammed. Help!

The photo with the pink background was taken from the listing on Ebay. I bought these cuttings and knew they were off straight away. A total of zero markings on any of the leaves, which are also super flimsy. Also stems are completely different to the point that I'm 90% sure that they are taken from plants belonging from entirely different genera. I'm also pretty convinced that the top one in the first photo is legitimately taken from your standard hedgerow. Before contacting the seller I'm trying to make sure I'm not mistaken so if anyone has any thoughts on the legitimacy of these cuttings I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I was scammed by a plant seller on eBay. I bought dianthus and marigolds. What I received was a box of mostly dead brown plants. Ebay sided with the seller, which I subsequently found out is a common practice of theirs. They brag about "buyer protection" but that is a complete fallacy. They also suppress negative ratings about supersellers so that people will continue to buy from them and then eBay can continue to reap their percentage from the sales.

Sorry you had the bad experience, but I hear this is not uncommon. Not sure what you're expecting but yes, that does look like Australis, healthy ones at that. Then again, be glad you didn't get dead sticks like Esther did.

I don't buy from EBay (have other resources) but wouldn't take the chance.

Obovata is usually solid green, at least the ones I've had. I wouldn't have expected it to be speckled or have leaf markings. I don't know what hedgerow is.

Why not ask the Seller if maybe a mistake was made & you were sent Australis by mistake, when you really ordered an Obovata?
